Comments
Upon submission of comments on our website, we gather the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to aid in identifying and preventing spam. Additionally, a hashed version of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you have an associated profile picture. Please note that upon approval of your comment, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment. For more information on the Gravatar service’s privacy policy, please refer to https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media
When uploading images to the website, it is advisable to refrain from uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This is because visitors to the website have the ability to download and extract location data from the images on the website.
Cookies
When a comment is left on our website, there is an option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience, eliminating the need to re-enter your information when leaving subsequent comments. The duration of these cookies is one year. Upon visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This particular cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded once you close your browser. Upon logging in, multiple cookies are established to store your login information and screen display preferences. The login cookies remain active for two days, while the screen options cookies persist for a year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login will be saved for a period of two weeks. Logging out of your account will result in the removal of the login cookies. When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and solely indicates the post ID of the recently edited article. Its expiration is set for one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles, may be included in the articles on this site. When embedded content is sourced from other websites, it functions in the same manner as if the visitor had visited the original website. It is important to note that these external websites may gather information about the user, employ cookies, incorporate third-party tracking, and observe the user’s interaction with the embedded content, including tracking their activity if they are logged in to the external website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
The comment and its metadata will be kept indefinitely upon submission. This is to facilitate the automatic recognition and approval of any subsequent comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue. Additionally, for registered users, their personal information provided in their user profile will be stored. All users have the ability to view, modify, or delete their personal information, with the exception of their username. Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
What rights do you have over your data
If you possess an account on this website or have previously left comments, you have the option to solicit an exported file containing the personal data we possess about you, encompassing any information you have furnished to us. Additionally, you may request the deletion of any personal data we retain pertaining to you. It is important to note that this does not encompass any data that we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
